Louvre

The Louvre is a former royal palace in Paris and now one of the world's largest art museums. It holds major Mesopotamian antiquities, including the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin of the Akkadian Empire and the stele bearing the Code of Hammurabi of the Babylonian Empire. Both were found at Susa, where Elamite kings had carried them as war trophies.
